Has Had Special Cannery
for Beans for Two Years;
WiH Continue it
Only one cannery at Salem
packed strips beans the last two
yeann the cannery of the Oregon
lacking company. This same can
" nery will pack beans again the
coming year, perhaps from an in
creased acreage.
. -The canning of beans Is differ
ent from the putting tip of fruits
and other vegetables takes dif
ferent machinery and appliances.
The Oregon Packing company two
years ago pot in special bean can
ning equipment, at their big bond
ing across the track from the
Southern Pacific passenger depot,
where they also hare their pickle
. factory.
Kntnre of Bean Industry
A number of other canneries in
the Saiem district pack beans.
The Kentucky Wonder bean is
the variety grown principally here
for -canning.
Some other canneries In this
district use the Refugee, a bush
bean; especially the canneries on
the Columbia river,
It is predicted that In the course
of time, and probably soon, a
large bean industry will be built
up here growing beans of high
quality for canning, and advertis
ing them to the first class trade:
making a specialty of salad beans.
The Salem district ought also
to grow hundreds of thousands of
pounds more of dry beans; to sup
.ply her own needs and those of
the districts to the north 'of us,
especially of Alaska.
And we should grow our own
supply of the Oregon Lima beans,
making as good a quality as the
California Lima.

bear from two' to four tons per
acre, while the Kentucky Wonder
and Blue Lake often produce op
to seven tons per acre, depending
largely on the availability of irri
gation water. Where the soil and
moisture conditions are quite fav
orable, five tons per acre Is not an
unusual yield.
Prices
Beans are ' usually worth from
2 Vi c to 3 4 c per pound delivered
at the canneries, depending on the
quality of the same.
Crop Pest
The-e are three possible injur
ious insects that affect snap
beans; first, the 12 -spotted bee
tle, . which in the spring is very
liable to do considerable injury
by eating off the tender leaves of
the young plants soon after they
come through the ground. In
some cases, this insect does a
great deal of damage, but can be
controlled by the use of nicotine
sulphate dust as a repellent, or by
dust which contains both this ma
terial mixed with arsenate of lead,
and a carrier, in the form of eith
er lime or sulphur.
Aphis are sometimes very injur
ious, particularly with the pole
beans, but dusting the plants with
a nicotine sulphate dust will very
largely control this pest, especial
ly where the dusting Is not put off
till too late in' the season, or un
til the aphis have obtained a foot
hold. Red spiders sometimes do a
great, deal of damage to bean
fields, especially where the plants
are suffering from a lack of mois
ture. Where Irrigation is avail
able, the plants rarely suffer from
attacks of the red spider.
As a summary, the following
five things are important in grow
ing beans: (1) Use rich ground,
thoroughly prepared for seeding.
(2) Obtain and plant a good
strain of seed. (3) Irrigate, if
possible, to forego the danger of a
short crop due to drouth. (4)
Watch for insect pests that may be
easily controlled by proper Bpray
or dust material. (5) Harvest
beans when in the best stage of
development, picking often
enough to prevent pods from be
coming too large for acceptance
by the canneries.

GROWING CANNERY
BEANS; BY AUTHORITY
(Continued from page 12)
Stringless Refugee, for example,
does not develop toughness so rap
idly as the Blue Lake. This fea
ture concerning the development
of the bean and the contrasting
quality of the same, can best be
emphasized by having the grower
observe the difference in quality
after the beans have been canned,
in which case there will be a very
noticeable difference in the qual
ity of the beans, according to the
development of the pod.
Yield
These vary largely according to
the variety, kind of soil, possibility
of 'irrigation, and the amount of
ground planted. Small areas
with good attention naturally bear
a heavier yield than larger fields
that are not so intensively culti
vated and cared for. .The bush
varieties are not so heavy yielding
as the pole sorts. Such varieties

WONDERFULLY INSPIRING
SCENES IN BEET HARVEST
' (Continued from page 12)
in western Nebraska that is the
Important feature to the growers j
on the 70,000 acres in sugar beets i
this year. And yet this 70.000 !
acres in beets .comprise only about
one-sixth of the cultivated, irri-:
gated acreage in this productive1
little valley that has made such as
tounding seven-league strides of
progress since The Great Western j
Sugar Company built the first su-i
gar factory there only 16 years
ago. j
There is & larger acreage In al
falfa and sweet clover than in
beets, and yet these crops are only
a by-product of the great business
of raising beets, productive as
they are themselves in actual rev-,
enue and in the rotation system.
There are also grown annually ',
about 15,006 acres of potatoes, I
and there is extensive cattle and'
sheep feeding made more profit
able on account of the beet pulp
and molasses feed. These same
by-products of the main industry,
sugar making, play an important
part in the development of dairy
ing that has sprung up in the val
ley within the past few years un
til there are five cheese factories
now operating within a radius of
15 miles, and an enormous cream,
butter and ice cream business be
sides. In a way all of these great
industries are subsidiary to King
Beet for they all work in naturally
with the principal crop, sugar.
The output of more than 2,000.
000 bags of sugar is more than
enough to supply the entire state,
and yet there are about 750,000
bags of cane sugar 'shipped into
Nebraska and consumed here ev
ery year forcing an equal number
of bags of beet sugar to find a
more distant market outside of
the state, at additional expense
through a bigger freight bill. Who
pays these higher freights? The
grower stands his share for if all
the Nebraska sugar could be sold
in Nebraska the average net re
ceipts from every bag of sugar
would be much higher than it is
when half of It is Bold in distant
markets, and the grower shares
with the manufacturer in the su
gar, receipts through the sliding
scale. .'t
Through the sliding scale plan,

of beets grown this season for
sale to the Great Western Su
gar company would reach 60
times around the earth. The
material used in the burlap su
gar bags would give Sir Waiter
Raleigh a roll large enough to
pave the way for his lady friend
clear around Merrie England,
and leftovers sufficient to put
down a, burlap path .across the
world to Australia with enough
to carpet Main street in Sidney.
The sugar output would filL
16,666 cars, or' a train 175
mfles long. The beets them
selves would require a train of
74,680 cars and 746 locomo
tives , and it would be so long,
that when the engineer would
be whistling for his wife to get
supper ready in Denver the rear
brakeman would be waving
goodbye to his girl in Kansas
City.
(These figures may be veri
f ield in The Sugar - Press - for
September).
the beet growers are jpald a cer
tain guaranteed minimum price
per ton for their beets delivered
at the dumps. Then in case of a
high sugar content in the beets,
or a high price for the finished
product, sugar, or both, the
grower shares in the extra profits
with his partner, the manufactur
er, who in the North Platte valley
is The Great Western Sugar Com
pany. The growers are paid a
bonus, or extra payment, that is
based upon the number of dollars
actually received from a ton of
beets, as sugar.
. If over half of this sugar is
shipped out of the state and large
freight bills must be deducted
from the utimate receipts, the
grower takes his loss along with
the manufacturer, down to the
minimum guaranteed price per
ton, which this year was set at
$8 per ton. the highest it has
been for several years. In other
words if the people of Nebraska
would use only beet sugar, nearly
all the money that Is now being
paid in freight bills on the cane
sugar that is ehipped in and on
the beet sugar that is ehipped out
could be saved. The beet grow
ers in the western part of the
state would get their share, which
would result Lb an increased pros
perity in just that proportion over
the whole territory. The saving
in freight and more efficient dis
tribution would also logically op
erate for lower sugar prices to
the consumer eventually because
: of the saving in freight not only
; to the beet sugar companies but
I to the cane sugar manufacturers
as well.
But cane sugar is better, some
people say, and there are still
', some old-fashioned housewives
, who believe that beet sugar L
; pot good for jelly making, fine
i cake making and candy making,
j It is interesting, but true, that
there is absolutely no chemical
! difference between the two kinds
of sugar and that no chemist has
yet found a method whereby he
can tell the difference between
Fhem. If thesa chemists with all
the knowledge pf . their profession
and all their equipment for mak
ing tests of all kinds cannot de
tect any shortcomings in the beet
sugar, it is a pretty safe bet that
the housewife herself would be
hard put to find by actual experi
ment that either one is Inferior
for any purpose whatever.
' After visiting the sugar beet
territory as I did and after receiv
ing such a tremendous "kick" out
of observing this mommoth agri
cultural industry .in full operation
right here In Nebraska I natural
ly became more interested in lis
tening to the arguments pro and
con as regards beet or cane sugar,
and I asked a number of house
wives what the difference was.

said thai one is coarser than the
other-aad some vice versa -and
I smiled (to myself, of coarse)
for several of the leading chemists
of the sugar company, as well as
the factory manager, and other su
gar experts had admitted their
inability to tell the one from he
other and they farther explained
that they can make their own beet
sugar as coarse or as fine as they
care to and can also regulate the
color hazard at will. It is true
that in the early days of the beet
sugar industry there was a differ
ence , but as the science of the
business developed, better and
better sugar was manufactured
and for a good many years it has
been, impossible for anyone to de
tect any difference between beet
and .cane sugar.
As an understanding of the
comparative value of beet and
cane sugar is gradually spreading
over the state and the prejudice
against beet sugar Is disappearing
a more economical distribution
through a saving in freight rates
and marketing problems will be
reflected not only in lower prices
for the consumer but in higher
prices for the beets paid to the
grower and the increased develop
ment and prosperity of the state
agriculturally and economically.
A higher guaranteed minimum
price per ton for beets is being
paid this Tear to the North Platte
valley growers tnan has been paid
for several years. In the past
there has been some friction at
times between the two partners in
the business of making sugar, the
grower and the manufacturers,
but the two partners now seem to
be in complete accord and are
working together for their mutual
advantage. f
Representatives of the Great
Western Sugar company as well
as officers of the Beet Growers
association. Eben Warner, L. R.
Leonard. County Agent Phil Shel
don, and several growers whom I
visited personally while in the
valley seemed to be satisfied that
no difficulty will be experienced
in fixing the guarantee minimum
price and the sliding scale for next
year on account, of this mutual
confidence that obtains a khe
present time
All in all it appeared to me that
the wonderful North Platte valley
is scheduled for. a period of rich
development In the . future that
can be duplicated only by its
phenomenal development since
1910 when there were no sugar
factories, no beets, no cheese fac
tories, no large towns, no cattle
or ebeep feeding to speak of - and
very little dairying and alfalfa. It
has blossomed out from this dis
couraging outlook of 16 years ago
into what is now called "Ameri
ca's Valley of the Nije." and has
yet to come into the full bloom of.
its tremendous possibilities.
